What does the new call involve?
The resolution was published this Wednesday in the Official Gazette under number 210/2025. It establishes a new call for legal entities interested in importing cars with a tariff reduction provided for in Decree 49/2025.
This decree allows the importation of hybrid and electric vehicles with zero tariffs in the Extrazone Import Duty (DIE). The measure seeks to cover the quota of 50,000 units assigned for all of 2025.

If there are remaining balances in any category, they may be reassigned to applicants from the other. They may also be redistributed if a quota expires or is not used.
What conditions must the vehicles meet?
To access the benefit, vehicles must have a FOB price of up to 16,000 dollars. This ensures that the models are affordable and compatible with the intention to expand the use of clean technologies.
In addition, the focus is on promoting a transition toward more sustainable mobility, without affecting domestic production or market balance.

A measure aimed at lowering prices
Javier Milei's government aims to generate more competition in the automotive sector so that prices decrease. The elimination of the first scale and the reduction of the second of internal taxes have already produced a partial decrease.
Now, with the new call for duty-free imports, the market is expected to have more options for electric and hybrid vehicles at competitive prices.
